RE: SteemShort #1 - Post 2: Request for the Middle Part of the Story

Summary for the middle of the story:

Detective Pablo Mora was in a pub when his phone rang.

He wasn’t a good cop. People knew that and the Police chief knew that. But he got the case for the murder of Chief Benson.

This was a message. Don’t ask a lot of questions. We are going to close this quickly. Detective Mora is on the case and we know how most of his cases go. Chief Benson’s supporters would scream “foul play” but they are not the majority. And most of them should know how this game is played. Becoming governor is not a clean game. It never was.

What people didn’t know was that Chief Benson’s enemies were missing a critical piece of information. They picked Mora as the most unsuitable match for a complex case like this one. They didn’t know that the drunk detective already had the case almost solved in his head.

He and the departed chief had an old and forgotten history. They were in the same platoon during the War of the Old Tribes. And Mora knew exactly what was in that paper and who was the only other person in the world that was sharing the same information.

Thank you for your valid summary.
